Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, , ]& Z+ m" t9 z  f/ o

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + o7 l+ S8 c7 Q
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. % r0 s8 T1 h2 M0 Y5 M

. [! {  e" ?: f, h2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.
* v4 J, f+ V9 v0 f6 P! s1 e- U' m6 m% t, n- o
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.
